I Won't Go Back To My Family Who Abandon Me novel Chapter 64

Count Aster, and his wife, recommended aristocrats who would be good for Enoch to share a friendship with and prepared items for the party. Enoch was grateful and asked them to have dinner together that night, but the two returned to their mansion, saying they should work hard.

At dinner, while they were sitting and eating their meal, Elle peeped at Enoch.

"Since when did you two become like this?"

Leticia was quietly eating her soup while looking straightforward, she hurriedly covered her mouth with a napkin.

Unlike Leticia, who was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Enoch looked unconcerned.

"I don't take personal questions."

"Then, what about marriage?"

"When are you doing this?"

Who said they weren't twins? If the conversation wasn't enough, their expressions and eyes were the same.

They knew they were asking extremely personal questions, but they just waited for an answer as if they didn't realize. However, Enoch continued to eat quietly as his gaze naturally turned to Leticia.

Leticia noticed right away, turned her head away and mumbled to herself.

"I won't, I won't do it."

She meant not yet, but she didn't know what they understood. Elle and Ian began to look at Enoch with pity.

"You got dumped."

"You got dumped."

Unlike their pitying expressions, their two mouths were suppressing smirks, they seemed to want to keep teasing their brother. Leticia slowly called out to Elle, who had a glint of mischief in her eyes.

"Elle"

"Yes, Sister?"

"I don't think I can go to the boutique tomorrow."

Not going would be more correct.

Leticia took another sip of her soup after saying that. Elle, who was sitting on the other side of the table, looked at her with an incredulous look on her face.

"Why all of a sudden? I'm sure you said you'd be free tomorrow."

The dress she'd ordered for Leticia for the party arrived that day. Elle had been waiting to see Leticia try it on, and now she felt like collapsing.

Leticia was not done yet.

"Ian, I think you should go see the third exam results on your own."

Ian felt a heavy rock fall somewhere in his heart.

A few days ago, he'd asked Leticia to go see the list together on the day the final successful candidates for the Imperial Civil service was announced. It was because he didn't want to go alone that day. Fortunately, Leticia answered that she would go with him, as if it was a matter of course.

Now her words had changed.

Ian, who was upset by the sudden change in attitude, tried to understand her actions.

"I've been waiting for the day you try on your dress."

Elle began to whine that she'd give anything, except for that. Ian, who would normally tell her not to be stubborn, also played a part.

"I wish you could go see the list of successful applicants on that day."

Elle and Ian looked at Leticia with pitiful expressions, as she had made a promise with them. Leticia was feeling flustered by their puppy dog eyes. Enoch, who'd been quiet until now, opened his mouth.

"Elle Achilles, Ian Achilles."

It was a different voice than usual.

They had a bad feeling when Enoch called out their full names. Unfortunately for them, their expectations didn't deviate.

"Come on out."

"Older brother."

"Brother."

Only then did Elle and Ian start to realize Enoch's thoughts. He looked at Leticia with the meaning that he would no longer allow them to make her uncomfortable. His eyes cooled down more.

"I won't say it twice."

"...."

"...."

Knowing that nothing good would come from any more interruption, they followed Enoch's order quietly.

About half an hour later, the three of them finally returned and started to eat again. Not a word was said about what happened, and the evening passed in silence.

***

For a gloomy looking Elle, Leticia rescinded what she'd said the day before and went to the boutique with her. Perhaps because of this, Elle looked more relaxed as they looked around at several dresses.

In the end, as soon as Elle saw Leticia in the dress she had ordered beforehand, she felt so pleased it was as if she'd never been depressed.

"I knew my eyes were correct! I guess my sister is beautiful no matter what she wears."

Elle was already so lost in thought that she couldn't hear Leticia. She began to draw in her head what kind of accessories and hairstyle would look good with the dress.

Leticia grabbed onto Elle's hand because she was worried she would stay lost in thought if left like that.

"Elle, you should try on the dress we ordered for you."

"Will your hair be prettier if we leave it loose or tie it up? I'm worried that you'll be pretty both ways."

Leticia's face grew redder as Elle mumbled earnestly as if there was nothing more important to worry about.

She wanted to hide in a corner from the unfamiliar praise. Elle opened her eyes wide, wondering if she'd done something wrong.

Why is shyness her job?

Leticia hid her blushing face with one hand and pulled on Elle's clothes.

"I'm going to look at your dress now."

"Oh, I forgot."

"...."

Leticia was speechless at the expression that she'd sincerely forgotten. It was obvious that Elle had come to the boutique to look at dresses made exclusively for Leticia.
